SPECIFICATION forming part 'of Letters Patent No. 231,052, dated August 10, 1880. Application filed May 8, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CASPER M. J ONES, Jr., of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Chandeliers, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying draw; ings.

The objects of my invention are to provide means whereby a chandelier may be safely supplied with oil without extinguishing the light, to keep the body of the oil as far from the burner as possible, to as far as possible sever the connection between the auxiliary reservoir and the light, whereby all danger of overflow is obviated,and to strengthen the arms of the chandelier.

Fig. 3 is a view showing my invention applied to a hvnnlnxt'. null Win Aia a vnvtinal annh'nn FINN Q The letters L L indicate tubes for conveying the oil from the wick-tubes to the reservoirs in filling the lamp, and from the reservoirs back to the wick-tubes as the oil is exhausted by burning. The object of this construction is to obviate the necessity of connecting the wicktube at its upper part with the reservoirAat I its upper part, to create a balance and thereby prevent any communication of the flame through the wick-tube with explosive vapors should such be generated in the reservoir.

My invention is operated as follows: The oil is poured into the reservoir 13 through the openings K, when it immediately flows through the cock F into the tubes (3, and from the wicktubes and the pipes L, thence into the reservoir A. \Vhen the indicators show that the chambers A are full the cock F is closed, after which the reservoir B is filled. When the chandelier is in use and the oil has been burned out of the reservoirs A the supply may be
